New mescaline concentrations from 14 taxa/cultivars of Echinopsis spp. (Cactaceae) ("San Pedro") and their relevance to shamanic practice.
AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of the present study is to determine in a procedurally uniform manner the mescaline concentrations in stem tissue of 14 taxa/cultivars of the subgenus Trichocereus of the genus Echinopsis (Cactaceae) and to evaluate the relationship (if any) between mescaline concentration and actual shamanic use of these plants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Columnar cacti of the genus Echin...
متن کاملVegetative propagation of Grindelia chiloensis (Asteraceae)
Grindelia chiloensis (Asteraceae) is a shrub native to Patagonia, Argentina, in the process of domestication as a source of resin to complement rosin production by pines. Vegetative propagation to multiply selected genotypes has produced breakthroughs in the cultivation of new crops like jojoba (Simmondsia chinesis). The only available way to propagate Grindelia is by transplanting seedlings or...
متن کاملTranscriptional control of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in the Caryophyllales.
Anthocyanins and betacyanins, two types of red pigment, have never been found to occur together in plants. Although anthocyanins are widely distributed in higher plants, betacyanins have replaced anthocyanins in the Caryophyllales. The accumulation of flavonols in the Caryophyllales suggests that the step(s) of anthocyanin biosynthesis from dihydroflavonols to anthocyanins could be blocked in t...

متن کاملEvolutionary origins of abnormally large shoot sodium accumulation in nonsaline environments within the Caryophyllales
The prevalence of sodium (Na)-'hyperaccumulator' species, which exhibit abnormally large shoot sodium concentrations ([Na]shoot ) when grown in nonsaline environments, was investigated among angiosperms in general and within the Caryophyllales order in particular. Shoot Na concentrations were determined in 334 angiosperm species, representing 35 orders, grown hydroponically in a nonsaline solut...
